Oh most holy righteous are thou who have not sinned! To extrapolate your own situation onto others in much less fortunate situations is typical elitist thinking. <br /><br />This is America, land of the money hungry, win-at-any-cost, holier-than-thou bible/torah/koran thumping loudmouths who only talk the talk. This surely can't be the America that our founding fathers envisioned, can it?<br /><br />How many of you commenters proclaim to be Christians, or Jewish, or whatever religious belief? What does your teachings say about forgiveness and redemption? You are hypocrites plain and simple. You only apply certain aspects of your religious beliefs to others depending on your personal views or filters.<br /><br />Search your own hearts for the answers to issues such as these. Stop the rhetoric and stop agreeing with someone else just because a particular view happens to be popular at the moment on social media.<br /><br />It doesn't take much to get the average citizen riled up into going along with the mob mentality and obfuscate the truth of matters. Show us that you truly have a mind of your own.

Why can't it just be said that everyone makes mistakes. Those that were caught have paid with time locked up. It's high time someone stands up for them. My son is in prison, probably not to come home in my lifetime, for a mistake he made when he was 20 years old, drugged up, something he would never do again, he's serving 40 years, don't you think his freedom would mean the world to him, to be a tax-payer. a parent, a responsible person, and someone trying. Ya'll need to get your head outta the sand. Second chance, block the box, or whatever you want to call it. It's unfair.. Period, plain and simple.

Police caught abusing innocent on cameras and the DA doesn't not charge them with crimes? Who ever thought!
